He just finally had his boot removed on Friday so he can now start working on basketball activities.

I've actually heard things different from what you're saying. Friend down in NC(NC fan who hates Duke) says it sounds like Irving might be back for the ACC tourney where he could get some work in with the team and be ready to go fully for the NCAA tourney.

nope thats wrong
he had his boot taken off about or over a month ago, but he had kept it around incase he had lingering pain (i read the Duke scout message board often about him) and the Duke Coaches have told players Irving is not comming back this year, i think the Coaches know more then your freinds

Duke coaches have told everybody Irving is not coming back this year but insiders have said there is a chance of Irving comes back. Coach K has all along said he is not coming back. He hasn't change his mind about that. He has been saying that for the last few months. He is not going to show his hand to anyone. He is playing the cards right now.

Ask any Duke fan of Irving and they will tell you he loves the University. If he is 100% and can go he will go. If he can't go(which everyone thought would happen when the injury happen) then it is cause he can't go. Different people have different opinions right now. A lot of Duke fans think he is done this year and Coach K has said that would be the most likely outcome all year long and some still believe he can make it back for the tourney.

I will tell you right now if Irving told Duke that he is not coming back cause he is going to the NBA then I doubt him and Nolan Smith would be really good friends. Why would Duke players love him if he doesn't want to play for them if he can and help them win a NC?
